Brenn Twohy was the commanding officer of the Hsien Hotheads in 3067.[1]

History[edit]

He was a member of House Twohy and the one able to regain his family rights on Hsien by 3067, being made Duke of Hsien by his Word of Blake allies.[2]

The Word of Blake took advantage of the civil war on Hsien, first taking control of the local HPG and then by returning a scion of the Twohy family back to Hsien: Colonel Brenn Twohy, the leader of the mercenary unit the Hsien Hotheads, that brought his unit with him, and when the Jihad erupted the Blakists allowed him to assume control of Hsien.[2]

When Brenn Twohy launched a campaign to seize control of his homeworld, Hsien, in 3067, the Hotheads found themselves facing the mercenary unit Gael's Grinders. Lieutenant Fargo Hambelton, lead scout of the Hotheads' second battalion, proved instrumental in tracking down the Grinders, and since the Hotheads assumed control over the entire planet has taken a leading role in training the newly-formed Protectorate Militia.[3]

In 3068, The Wanderers and the Keepers of the Gates, elements of the WoB 4th Division were sent secure world of Hsien for Hsien Hotheads' commander Colonel Brenn Twohy, to install him as Word of Blake's leader for that world.

By 3069 the Hotheads had joined with other local Word of Blake forces and destroyed the Always Faithful mercenary unit. This left Hsien free to join the Word of Blake Protectorate, which it did two days later.[4][5]

In 3078 they were on Hsien when Stone's Coalition attacked. They were joined by the Hsien Protectorate Militia Division in their defense of the world against the 12th Atrean Dragoons, 7th Donegal Guards, Devil's Brigade, and 12th Mechanized Cavalry Cluster of Clan Hell's Horses. The fighting became even more confusing with the arrival of the 4th McCarron's Armored Cavalry and 4th Tau Ceti Rangers, who engaged both the Coalition forces and the Hotheads. Eventually the CCAF and Coalition forces agreed to fight the Hotheads and their supporting units. The CCAF forces were unwilling to accept the Hotheads' surrender, and engaged the Coalition forces again, but were driven off-world.[6]

The ultimate fate of the Brenn Twohy isn't known.
